I realize as a woman we've all experienced various symptoms and degrees of premenstrual symptoms (PMS). Headaches, irritability, craving for sweets. Are your symptoms always the same, every month?

Probably not, we've become accustomed to just excepting PMS as the norm. In fact PMS is a sign of an imbalance in the body, in your vital energy.
